CHARLES WESLEY.

Ia Jld age Charles Wesley rode

1t appears to have been brought
every morning from the foundry
an arrangements which its master
did not Ike, but which il was I'M
possible to avoid. He was some
what stputer than his brother, bur
not corpulent. Henry Moore saws
that he wore winter cloihIng even
in summer. When he mounted
his horse, "If a subject struck
him, he proceeded to expand it
and put it in order. This he used
to write on a card in short hand
wi h his pencil" Not unfrequent-
" he used to come to the house
in the city road, and, having left
the pony in the garden in front,
he would enter, crying out, "Pen
and ink pen and ink!' When
these were given him, he procei d.

done, lie looked around on those

kindness, inquired after thei,

short hymn.
What impression he produced
on strungers may be understood
from William WiIberforce's ac-
count of his first interview with
the venerable poet, at the house
of Hannah More. He says: 81

NEW AND OLD.

'Ihe New South" is 30 often
mentioned with words of praise
and patronage that many southern
people are growing tired of the
phrase. They feel that the praise
of tile present is too much at the
expense .f the pride Of the past.
There IS also a disposition to re-
sent the complacency of those
northern critics Of southern civil
lization who apparently regard the
ideal new south as a copy of the
old north. Down this way we
have always held that there was
something distinctive in southern
civilization which could not be
altogether accounted for by the
restitution of slavery, The
cavaliers OF Virginia, the Hugue-
nots IF Carolina, the Creoles of
Louisiana, were marked by pecn-
lIarities which had been impressed
upon their ancestors in England,
in France and in Spaih, Just as the
Puriiaus in New England and the
Quakers in Pennsylvania repres-
ented 10 their Americau homes
forms of religion and modes OF life
of transatlantic origin. More
over, VIC have held that some al
least OF the distinctive features d
southern civilization were legiti-
mate sources of pride. and that i
new south without them would be
essentially inferior to that old
south in which they found their
most conspicuous illustration in
this country.

slavery ts.nds to cultivate the

the hands of the few, and where
the many are forced to endure the
bardships, and sometimes to accept
the huniliations of a subordinate
sphere. The ingenious mechanic

ness relations and becomes y mil>
lionaire. His grandson is liberals
ly educated, widely travelled and

generations have made q gentle
man. His g,anddaughters ar.
graceful and accomplished, leaders
of society. Toll has ceased to
disfgure the children of that race,
and trade no longer vulearizes
them. If the founder Of the
family had struck oil or got into
a fat government contract the
result would have been the same.
But as a rule, the aristocrats of
the odd south were not made by
slavery, and after the abolition of
slavery they retained the mental
hnbit aud the outward bearing Of
their class. The south had It's
nouyeaux riches as well as the
norlh; hut when the food came
aud swept away their fortunes 1t
took away also their claim to
social distinction. 1t requires
generations TO develop an endur-
ing aristocracy which shall COM
mand respect in times OF evil as
we'll as of good fortune. 1t is
noticeable that the governing class
in the old south has not failed to
maintain its supremacy in the new
south. Tie southern brigadiers
in congress wele sent to congress
for the same reason that they
were given promotion IN the war.
They were usually men Of educa-
ton, OF family, and Of command
ing character. They have suffer-
ed losses, they lave endured
privations, but they have strnggls
cd on and upwards by the sheer
lorce Of an inherited manhood.
Here and there, indeed, wo find
sad instances Of decay; home
still chill with poverty, and
children growing upin ignorance;
but rarely ever do we find in any
old southern family an utter abb
sence of those finer traits which
betoken the culture OF noble
traditions and refined associations.
There is a distinction that money
cannot buy, and that even in-
digence cannot oblItcrate How
often do we find this fact exempli-
fed by gentle southern women,
leading lives OF pathetic beauty in
the midst Of sordid surroundings.
But what do they hope who
cling @to the ideals Of the old
south? Certainly, not the res
toration OF slavery, and the
recovery Of wealth and power by
that means. Indeed, it is not
wealth or power that they are
thinking Of when they turn away
in disgust from the picture OF a
new south which shall suggest the
old south by contrast only. All,
no; not that, but the generous
hospitality, tho chiva;ric spirit,
the punctilious courtesy, the
knightly hand, the Christian knee,
the clean firesides and the holy
altars, once cherished ia the
hearts and homes Of the proudest
and purest aristocracy the world
has ever known.--Picayune.
